It’s hard to find another beer producer that says “Seattle” more than Pike Brewing. (Rainier being the only other possible contender.) Owners Charles and Rose Ann Finkel have been in the biz for a long time, making some of today’s upstart brewers look like young whippersnappers by comparison. To write up their history would be an article unto itself, but suffice it to say the company they founded in 1989 is built on a solid foundation of great food, wine, and of course, beer.

Capitol Hill's Men's Gloves Gap
Last night was colder than we expected--damn you, cold, wet fog!--and just after the sun went down, we realized we should have brought gloves if we were going to be biking around. We were down around the Pike/Pine corridor, navigating between a Cap to the Hill meetup at Moe Bar, a "Save Newspapers?" confab at Office Nomads, and Marat/Sade at Balagan Theatre, so we stopped in at the Walgreen's at Broadway and Pine. They had Magic Gloves for Women for $1.99. No men's gloves, and while our hands are...not overly large...we didn't dig the color palette. So we walked over to the Bartell Drugs at Pike. Same Magic Gloves, but also Isotoner for Women. No men's gloves. Not a single pair. Shame on you, druggists of Pike/Pine. We waggle our chapped, aching finger at you.
